If you know that the signer of the eviction notice is your landlord, then it is probably a valid eviction notice.

If you believe that you have a case against him misrepresenting himself as an attorney, that would likely be a different issue: not, though, for a civil suit since there are no damages that you can claim as a result of it. You could, though, report it to the local legal authorities.

Bottom line (in my humble opinion): If you have violated any terms of the lease, and were given an eviction notice from the landlord or his/her agent, then you should deal with that issue first.

Are you sure he didn't claim to be an "attorney-in-fact", under a power of attorney from the actual owner?
